Have you guys read today's Newpaper? Toh Paik Choo did a column bout Sin City.

Apparently, I live in Sin (Ming) City.

Just brought my laptop to the Toshiba notebook service centre. My notebook's been rather irritable and keeps giving me probs lately. The keys keep getting stucked and no matter what I press something else will just appear. Even when I click the mouse, for eg. the right click, what is supposed to appear will just disappear within split-seconds of appearing.

I feared that the expiry of my warranty is soon so I brought it to the service centre. But haha the man told me that I still had one more year of warranty. When he powered up my laptop, he used all the keys and nothing was wrong. I was simply bemused. In the end, he told me that there was nothing wrong.

Maybe its because my laptop hasn't been given much rest. I've been using it to download countless stuff, leaving it switched on over night and sometimes many days. I'm so sorry my dear laptop.

Then again, thats what a laptop is for right? Still has the cheeks to throw tantrum at me. KNN.

What a love-hate relationship. The consolation? At least there's still one more year of warranty.

Off to Cherating Malaysia for sun, sand, and surf! With my bruddas: Wc, Dex and Pussyjus. Not forgetting the rest of the bros who can't make it for the trip: Lc, Sj and Mf.

And of 'cos take care of yourself ma baby ryN*! Oh take good care of your Prince Charming and Crunchy Beauty (ryN*'s hammys) !

I'll be back on 26th!

Peer pressure. Its evil. Its hard to say no to. Often, people believe that it'll bring u greater friendships. However sometimes, it may work against you.

Remember the recent CNB (Central Narcotics Bureau) advertisement? About this guy and his so-called "brothers". How they bai tian shi students, wan shang shi brudda (students by day, brothers by night). And how they got caught for taking drugs and in the end, none of his bros came to visit him in the rehab. Yup that is peer pressure.

Accusations of you being a pang seh king/queen, always flying ppl's aeroplane, etc never fails to make one feel bad. However, if you do have a reason for pang seh-ing/flying aeroplane, your true friends will understand. And half the time, they'll exert abit of pressure on you for fun by calling you names to make you feel bad. But in the end, true friends understand.

However, who will understand and who will not? Who should be understanding and who should not? Its true that people who are closer to you and more important to you should be more understanding. But, if they are closer to you and more important to you, shouldn't it be justifiable to pang seh/fly the other person's aeroplane instead?

If you think that things you do to a friend can make him/her feel bad, the same things you do to your closer friend will make him/her feel doubly worse. Yes I know I may be wrong. Its a warped world.

Journey - Corrine May

It's a long long journey
Till I know where I'm supposed to be
It's a long long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you

Many days I've spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what's my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong
I know I will falter
I know I will cry
I know you'll be standing by my side
It's a long long journey
And I need to be close to you

Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don't even know why I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul
Will you break down these walls and pull me through

Cause it's a long long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on Calvary Beneath those stormy skies
When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
Cause it's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you

Maybe its a blessing in disguise?

So I've been watching this Jap anime, Gunlock, courtesy of Wc who brought a hell lot of anime dvds back from Shanghai.



I was watching episode 3 just now when I heard the following dialogue which really tickled me..

"If you wanna be closer to God, then you should just go and die!"

Dear friends please take note of the above k. If you wanna know how much the fine is, contact me.

Singapore is a fucking FINE city. KNN.

Hola!

Wot a stewpid day. And I assume that there are more to follow.

Nevertheless, I can look forward to my Genting trip in a week's time.

Sakae Sushi All You Can Eat Buffet.
Adults: $16.90++, Snr Citizens/Students: $13.90++, Children: $9.90++

ryN* and i made a date to be at Sakae Sushi Century Square at 3 so that we can be there for the start of the buffet! but we were early (amazingly) so we walked around a bit and then we went to some stupid girly shop coz ryN* needed to get some hairbands. ryN* took like god-knows-how-long and it was already 3pm! So I said, "darling we're late! it's 3 already!! the buffet has started!! hurry can??" She started saying that I am kiasu. But when we got there, the place was almost full lah. Luckily we had seats thanks to my kiasu-ness. Hah! ryN* didn't really have the appetite to eat after that 'cos her foot was in her mouth.

So after we had our fill and we went to shop around 'cos I wanted to buy goggles and hair conditioner and the big box of Hello Panda. After we spent 1 hour buying her pair of Charles n Keith clogs and her hairbands and her this and that, I still couldn't find my goggles and Hello Panda. When I wanted to go find them somewhere else, she said she had to go home for dinner. Yes, dinner after eating a buffet from 3 to 530pm. *slaps forehead*

When we got to her place, she didn't eat dinner at all. Instead, we had to watch the whole IOC opening ceremony thingy on Channel Newsasia 'cos her family was watching it. It was sooooo boring I would rather shop with her at that stupid hairband shop at Century Square. And the boring show lasted till 9pm. As much as ryN* hates being interrupted when she's shopping, I hate having restrictions. Especially, time restrictions. But she's my baby lah, so I have to compromise (i am good la).

**This was a tongue-in-cheek blog post**

Went to the airport at 4am last night with my daddy to fetch my sis home. A lil bit of background details: my sis went Aussieland to represent S'pore for some under-17 fencing tournament, she got gold for the team event and silver for the individual event.

Upon their arrival at belt 17 of Terminal 1 Changi Airport, they took 15 mins at the luggage belt. I was wondering why they took so damn long 'cos my teh peng effect was wearing off. When they came out, they were all wearing their white Team Singapore jacket and their medals around their necks. There were 3 girls and their Russian coach. One over-enthusiasitc parent suggested that we should all clap as an appreciation of the girls' efforts and also to encourage them further to spur them on. So, they started clapping. Even daddy joined in. I was so damn bloody embarassed la. It was like a much much toned-down scene of some athlete who won a gold medal at the SEA games coming back. Gosh.
-______-"

Later in the car, I learnt from my sis that they took so long at the luggage belt 'cos the coach wanted them to wear their jackets and to put on their medals. For a moment I actually thought that the coach had them wear the jackets and the medals all the way from Aussieland. Like, right after they won it. And not to take them off even when they slept or bathed or pang sai.

My god. The next time I'll ever volunteer to go pick my lil sis up from the airport is if she wins a medal at the SEA games in December. Otherwise, its damn bloody embarassing. Luckily it was 4am and there were only the air crew from that flight, some other passengers, the parents, a few cleaners and the taxi drivers.

**This is not a spoof**

Went Serangoon Gardens this afternoon to pick ryN* up after her DnD meeting. Drove down 'cos I have no idea how to get there by bus/train. By the time I got there, Pow Sing chicken rice was already closed. So sad man.. I was so looking forward to it. Felt damn disappointed so I just any-o-how walked to a random coffee shop and bought wanton noodle. While waiting for my wanton noodle, I ordered teh peng from the drinks stall. Guess what.. the auntie used a bartender's mixer/shaker/watever-u-call-that to shake my teh peng. Omg my teh peng was foaming lah and it cost $1.20. That's so ex! I can only remember the only teh peng to cost more than that is at Lau Pa Sat. At least its understandable at Lau Pa Sat 'cos its to rip tourists off.. but at a random coffeeshop at Serangoon Gardens?!?! Anyways, its the coffeeshop with the yellow signboard at the entrance of the carpark behind the bus-stop at the roundabout. Go try it if u want to. Abit too sweet though.

We went down to Chijmes after dinner to meet ryN*'s jc friends for some drinks. They are a rather fun and funny bunch of people. But the highlight of the night was taking pictures with ryN* in the middle of the Padang. Okay not really in the middle, 'cos 3/4 of the Padang is taken up by the stage and seats for NDP 05.

Oh wait, actually, the highlight of the night is the 25% discount at Mobil. My tank was running low and I pumped full tank. The feeling is incredibly shiok. Maybe I'm beginning to understand why gals are always so thrilled at MNG sale. Actually, gals are thrilled at EVERY sale. ryN* was telling her cousin just now that the Topshop sale isn't really that good. But here's a recap of what I did when ryN* was at Topshop on Monday: drank a cup of Mocha and read two magazines at Coffeeclub, and shopped at World of Sports & Sony. My goodness how can she have spent so much time there when she herself thought that the sale wasn't good??!?!?! Help lah.

Okay its sucha hot night. I gotta go shoot some hoops (on my PS2) in my air-conditioned room.
